He brought the offense up and was getting us mentally reset, 'Hey, we know if we don't stop ourselves, we can score points.' It's hard being a leader in this league, especially at quarterback. You have a lot on your plate. The older you get, the more you understand your role, so it's cool to see him bring us up like that.
